i need about 1 hour to prepare myself before going out if i'm really in the mood to dress up....here's what i always do--> lock the room, close the curtains, then bath for 30 minutes, dry myself, then apply moisturiser, then apply face lotion and powder, then blow dry my hair,put on contact lens, then keep looking at the mirror over and over again...sometimes i'll even change on different outfits until i'm satisfied with myself....and i'll often make myself very tired because of this...sometimes i'll keep changing because i can't make up my mind what to wear....therefore, nowadays i'll just choose something and stick to it...it's less tiring that way....
